North Delta Minor Hockey Association has one of the best officiating development programs in the province. Our commitment to referee development has earned us recognition by Pacific Coast Ameteur Hockey Association and BC Hockey. Our goal is to provide a fun and rewarding officiating program that allows our association to reach a degree of excellence regarding officials development.

Returning Officials

Thank you for your hard work during the 2017 & 2018 season.
